Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.

And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.

He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?

Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
